Bright Sword: I don’t want to be the king!

In the end, Xiao Congyinan's rationality suppressed his emotional fluctuations.

Between Huairong Lingcheng and Huai'an Lingcheng,

He decided to take Huairong Lingcheng first!

After all, Huairong Lingcheng is the most critical strategic location for Japanese practitioners in the entire northwest Shanxi cultivation world.

If they fail to retake Huairong Lingcheng before they carry out the major cleanup, the resistance faced by Japanese practitioners will probably increase significantly!

Of course, this does not mean that Xiao Cong Yinan will let go of Huaian Lingcheng.

However, between these two matters that were extremely important to Japanese practitioners, he gave priority to the more urgent matter.

Once Huairong Spiritual City falls back into the hands of the Japanese practitioners, Huaian Spiritual City will naturally become their new target!

By then, no matter it is the Third Battalion of the New First Regiment or its battalion commander Cao Geng, they will not be able to escape the ruthless crushing of the iron-blooded torrent of Japanese practitioners, and will fall into reincarnation forever, unable to transcend!

At the same time that Xiao Cong Yinan made up his mind and immediately invested all his strength in the battle of Huairong Lingcheng.

At this moment in Huai'an Lingcheng,

Cao Geng's troops have already set up camp here.

As the new base of the New Third Regiment for a period of time in the future, Cao Geng has now clearly understood the terrain and strategic points here.

At this moment, Cao Geng's training team had just experienced a series of fierce battles and was in the process of recuperation and recovery.

Cao Geng himself is in the former Japanese brigade headquarters, which has now become the center of his newly formed Three Immortals Regiment. He has begun to plan the grand plans for their Three Immortals Regiment's future training and conquests.

The plan outline from now on is very clear!

After experiencing a series of battles, their three immortal groups have demonstrated extraordinary strength in both spirit stone reserves and magical weapons.

therefore,

This means that in the next period of time, their Three Immortals Group will no longer have to fight desperately with the Japanese invaders to seize their resources and magic weapons as they did in the past.

Currently, the biggest difficulty faced by their three immortal groups is the lack of monks and military forces!

In fact, in the continuous battles, the losses of the special elite disciples led by Cao Geng, the Qianlong Guards, were still bearable.

The only tricky thing is that their large force of the Three Immortals Group cannot be adequately replenished.

Therefore, the first task that Cao Geng and others faced was naturally to recruit monks!

However, what Cao Geng did not know was that

Just as he was busy preparing for the next strategy, the amazing achievements made by their Three Immortals Group in the past two days had quickly spread through spies from various factions.

Although the spies from various factions were unable to find out the exact organization number of Cao Geng's troops,

But they did know for sure that the leader of this mighty army, which first destroyed the Zhengtai Line, an important spiritual material transportation route for the Japanese invaders, and then successively conquered the Japanese invaders' important towns of Ping'an City and Huaian City, was a man named Cao Geng!

As the news spread, the entire North China region was shocked and a huge wave of heated discussion broke out.

"Hey, have you heard? In the northwest of Shanxi, a mysterious army of Eight Desolate Cultivators is slaughtering Japanese invaders!"

"Not only did they destroy the Zhengtai Line, they also wiped out the spectator group of more than 200 high-ranking Japanese generals! Then they successively occupied the important Japanese strongholds of Ping'an City and Huai'an City!"

"What? These things were all done by the same unit of the Eight Desolate Cultivators Army?"

"Yes, the information is accurate!"

"Hiss! This is unbelievable! Do you know the number of this mysterious army and the identity of their leader?"

"We have not yet learned the number of this mysterious unit, but I heard that the leader of this unit is named Cao Geng..."

For a while,

The news about Cao Geng was widely circulated throughout the northwest region of Shanxi like a myth.

In just two days, the team of monks he led wiped out almost 10,000 Japanese invaders.

Not only did the bomb kill more than 200 high-ranking Japanese generals, it also forced a large-scale replacement of high-ranking Japanese military officers in China.

and,

He also captured two cities of the Japanese invaders in succession!

Even though Cao Geng eventually returned Ping'an City to the Japanese invaders,

But soon after that, he occupied Huaian City, which had greater strategic value to the Japanese invaders!

Since Cao Geng occupied Huai'an City,

In the entire northwestern land of Shanxi, no one dared to look down on the Eight Desolate Cultivation Army anymore.

In the northwestern Shanxi region where Taoism is prevalent, the Eighth Route Army's garrison forces can display their power freely in this vast area and move around like gods.

"With only a strengthened group of monks, they managed to completely wipe out the entire brigade of Japanese evil demons in just two days! After conquering Ping'an City, facing the surprise attack of the First Demon Brigade, Cao Geng unexpectedly used the art of escaping from his shell to capture Huaian City!"

"I have to admit that even I, Old Li, admire Cao Geng's way of fighting."

In a secret place in northwest Shanxi, Li Yunlong was shocked after learning about this.

In fact,

Li Yunlong had heard of Cao Geng's deeds as early as when Cao Geng led his troops to destroy the Zhengtai spiritual vein and occupied the city of Ping'an within six hours.

just,

even so,

When Cao Geng faced the siege of an entire brigade of Japanese evil demons, he not only did not retreat and hide, but instead used a surprise attack to capture the city of Huaian in one fell swoop. This move still shocked Li Yunlong.

Notice,

In the eyes of the Japanese evil spirits, Huai'an City is second only to Huairong City in strategic importance. Since Huairong City fell into the hands of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army, Huai'an City has become one of the most important strongholds that the evil spirits rely on.

However, such a crucial strategic point was captured by a leader of a reinforced monastic corps of their Eighth Route Army. How could Li Yunlong not be shocked?

but,

Long before Li Yunlong heard the news that Cao Geng had blown up the Zhengtai Spiritual Vein and quickly captured the Ping'an City, he had been secretly investigating the origins of Cao Geng, the leader of the enhanced monk group.

However, the strange thing is that in his intelligence network,

In the list of generals at the level of the Eighth Route Army Corps Commander, there is no person named Cao Geng...

This made Li Yunlong suddenly feel confused.

Since this so-called "Head of the Eighth Route Army Enhanced Monks Corps" Cao Geng is not the commander of the Eighth Route Army as rumored by the outside world.

So, who exactly is Cao Geng, this person who caused such a stir in northwestern Shanxi?

Could it be that the sensation was really caused by Cao Geng, the battalion commander of the third battalion of the new first regiment under his command?

Li Yunlong felt that such a guess was too shocking, so he finally chose to put the idea aside for the time being.

however,

Although the true identity of Cao Geng, the leader of the enhanced monastic group, is still unclear,

nowadays,

It has been nearly two months since the troops were divided.

Perhaps as the leader of the new regiment, it is indeed time for him to understand the situation of recruiting practitioners in the three battalions under his command.
